The rolling hillside that rises up behind the fashionable coastal town of Baiona provides the enviable setting of this smart and beautifully presented home. Dotted with houses and interspersed with lush trees and woodland, its elevated heights afford the most absorbing of vistas. Beyond fields and treetops the red rooftops and yacht-filled harbour of Baiona can be seen sitting alongside sheltered blue waters which stretch out across the bay to meet a sweeping curve of fine golden sand, just one of the many stunning beaches that line this picturesque coastline.

This is the outlook that awaits guests at the poolside of Casa Susi, which is flanked by a pretty stone cobbled terrace amidst a neat garden of lawns dotted with welcome pockets of shade provided by the leafy canopies of mature trees. Nestling amidst a cluster of houses, with woodland to the rear and the scenic view stretching out to the front, this is an idyllic spot which is within easy reach of local amenities.

For those wishing to spend time on the beach, golden sands can be found in the town itself, a drive northwards along the shoreline will uncover a string of stunning bays, whilst not to be missed in July and August is the 45 minute ferry crossing from Baiona’s harbour to the Cíes Islands where Caribbean-like sands line beautifully unspoilt pine-clad shores.

For relaxing days at home by the poolside, Casa Susi’s smart garden and fashionable interior provide the ideal setting. Patio doors and wide windows allow light to flood into stylish rooms displaying a contemporary and up-to-the-minute design, with the comfortably furnished living room conveniently opening onto the pool and garden at the front and a west-facing dining terrace at the side.

Great Things to Do Near Casa Susi

Visit the Castillo de Monte Real

Nowadays there is 4-star luxury hotel inside the walls, but a walk along the beach in front of the old historic exterior still offers some impressive views. It is located on the Monte Boi peninsula and is a short drive from the house. There is a small charge for entrance but it is well worth the visit for the beautiful views and the amazing sunsets over the Ria.

The statue was designed by Antonio Palacios and built between 1910 and 1930 and stands at an impressive fifteen and a half metres, which makes for some creative picture taking!
